The Ace of Cads Synopsis
Chappel and Basil are both officers in the British Guards and also close friends. They both fall in love with Eleanor. Basil is so smitten that he sets up a situation in which Eleanor believes that Chappel has another woman, and she chooses Basil. Chappel, devastated, turns to drink and is soon thrown out of the army in disgrace. Complications ensue.
The Jackeroo of Coolabong Synopsis
Brian O'Farrell (Snowy Baker), is an English 'new chum' who takes a job at an Australian cattle station. He is teased by station hands because of his appearance (including spats and a monocle) but he soon impresses them with his skills at riding and boxing. The station manager, John MacDonald (Wilfred Lucas), takes O'Farrell to Sydney to meet his daughter Edith (Kathleen Key) who is working in the slums. Edith is kidnapped by criminals after witnessing a crime but O'Farrell rescues her. It is later revealed he is the owner of the station.
"The Ace of Cads" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Jackeroo of Coolabong" offers its own unique cult appeal.
